When they opened the new webstore you got a free captain for spending $100. You also got a voucher to buy a second, different one for $30 so I guess what I'm trying to say is that GW giveth and GW taketh away.

Can someone recommend me a good company where I can buy some shipping containers? Preferably ones that can stack as my club needs more LOS blockers.

I have a bunch of this stuff and it's pretty good, has a few different kinds of shipping container and everything within a system is able to stack of connect in some way.

Stuff at the back is first draft and not really available anymore, but the containers at the front are plus new designs that stack with them, Guardian for scale

But seriously, I had a cool notion to bust out my Storm Troopers to be ObSec bros with my Astra Militarum and would have to buy a bunch more Valkeries. gently caress that, deep striking Storm Troopers forever. (I'm never going to win a game of 40K.)

Then 7th came about and my IG had nothing to fear from nids as they missed their one Smash attack on my armor over and over.

I tried to play in a tournament once - but my opponent and I couldn't agree on what the objective markers meant to our respective commanders. WHY did they want to fight over them? What emotional resonance would a victory hold for the Eldar on Signus X2341-5631, and what did the Imperial Guard have to gain by fighting over this desolate piece of rock?

After about an hour and a half of trying to work this out the round was over, and I was kicked out of the tournament. Colonel Straken, overall commander of Operation Bicep, had one last vox transmission to make: that he wouldn't be returning to Catachan for Emperorsmas.

Hello group, it's me - Teabag. I can't play a game of 40K without a rock hard, forged narrative. And it's becoming a problem.

It's still listed as pre-order on the website. So I don't think you have to worry about any changes, which may or may not be what you wanted to hear depending on your chance on psybolts and henchmen.

Just an aside but I caught a peak at the Nagash White Dwarf and lol they're doing summoning for Fantasy too but Undead instead of Daemons. All Wizards get access to the Lore of Undeath and Nagash can summon fistfuls of models.

His statline is insane and he completely breaks things but I like the model so v:shobon:v

Edit (summoning extra laughs):
The Nagash rules and changes to the Lore table are being sold in a two-book set for $85. Not a full ruleset, just minor changes.

They call it bonesium, it's a soft pliable rubber-like plastic. They're in the process of converting their metal range into it. For a comparison, models that run $12 in metal are being sold for $3 in bonesium.

To be pedantic and clarify: I don't think every metal model will be converted to Bones, and I don't think they'll be discontinuing the metal range. Conversely, not every Bones model has a metal original.

Basically, they're two parallel ranges that do share a lot of sculpts, but not 100%.

I'm very particular about what I put in my anus, no cheap materials pass these bowls thank you sir.

I know there is some other companies that make Squats in space figures as well.

Yeah, I had a thing for wanting to do Squats counts-as Grey Knights for a while and I looked at a lot of the Mantic Forgefather stuff. It matches up pretty solidly with GW's, scale-wise, but I never really liked their aesthetics. A couple of the models are cool, like their Forgefather Lord and their NOT a Thunderfire cannon, but they always seemed just kind of ugly, rigid and blocky.

Edit: The Veer-Myn look bad rear end and are pretty much exactly what space skaven would look like. The only codex I could really think about that would suit them would be Orks.

Yeah, they're definitely kick rear end models. Just talking models, strangely I think that Fantasy actually has a better model line than 40k. They're just so many goddamn impressive models from that line , that make you go "Wow" especially some of the Undead War Machines and Dark Elf stuff like the Hydras, even the Empire models are all " Imma gently caress you up" looking.

Most of the 40k line with the exception of Ork I always found rather what ever the opposite of Dynamic is. I don't dislike them I just like the way Fantasy looks more but prefer the way 40k plays.

Found these for Chaos Daemonette alternatives. Like all alternative Daemonette models are " Naked Women" with Insect parts which I guess is appropriate but seriously make something different. I don't want to paint vaginas.

Whats up with all the alternative miniatures being like British companies. Always found that weird like a large majority are British companies.

It's been around since the beginning of Undead armies, but I think he means ALL wizards can do it.

On a separate note, I'm hearing a lot of people (not here) say you can cast as many powers as you have dice for. So when I look at the rulebook and the very first sentence under the very first rule in the Psychic Phase portion of the book (Mastery Level) says that you cannot, I'm not being crazy right? It's even bolded...

Has anyone seen that the rumor is for Necrons to be next, with an update similar to the GK book? Literally just a crammed-in codex for the new rules with nothing new.

I mean I guess it's all he-said, she-said anyway, but if that's true, Necron players beware! I mean, whatever about rumors vs clickbait, but I'm sure this is what a lot of players already fear is going to happen after that GK book. They still have 4 (?) armies left and seem in a hurry to get the books out. Mainly I'm just wondering if this means GW has a special plan for once they are all released.

Each psyker can cast as many powers as he/she has access to (based off ML level which directly effects the number of powers you will have access to) as long as you have the dice available but you can't cast any power (per each Psyker) more than once per Psychic Phase.

Might be larger than what you're looking for but Mantic does some good customizable terrain that can look a lot like shipping containers, but can also get built into various structures. I think there's barrels and crates that come the sprues, but I might be thinking of the accessory sprues.
